Assignment:

Using the words in this document, create a "poster" in Microsoft Word by changing the font, size, and color of the words.
The design of the poster is up to you! I'm sure you can create one better than my example! :-)
You will insert a picture and format it (using text wrapping), and insert a page border.

Click on the download button below and then open the Go Confidently Word document. If you need more help Click Here


Highlight the text you want to change:

• click to the left of the word to highlight
• hold your mouse button down and "drag" across the word(s) you want to highlight.
• Let go of your mouse button

Change the font, size, and color:

• Use the pull-down menu to the right of the font to change the font
• Use the pull-down menu to the right of the size to change the size
• Use the pull-down menu to the right of the color to change the font color

To force text to move to the next line, hit the "ENTER" key on your keyboard

To insert a picture:

• click on the Insert tab
• click on the Clip Art button
• on the right side of your screen you will see the Clip Art menu
• type in what you want to find (such as butterfly)
• BEFORE you click go, make sure "All Collections" is selected. If not, use the down arrow for the menu
• click on the picture you want to insert

Before you can move a picture, it must be formatted using "text wrapping:"

• Click on the picture to "select" it.
• Click on the "Format" tab
• Click on the down arrow to the right of text wrapping
• I recommend using "square" for this

To add a page border:

• Click on the "Page Layout" tab
• Click on Page Borders button
• Borders and Shading window opens
• Make sure "Page Border" tab is selected in this window
• Click on a button on the left

• OR choose ART
